I am not aware of any Pascal implementation that does have a STEP <br>
parameter for FOR loops, and I am programming in Pascal at least as long <br>
as you... ;-)<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>FPC documentation: <a href="https://www.freepascal.org/docs-html/ref/refsu58.html#x164-18600013.2.4">https://www.freepascal.org/docs-html/ref/refsu58.html#x164-18600013.2.4</a> - at least FPC doesn't allow specifying an increment size. Several other languages do allow specifying an increment (nice list of for loop constructs with specified increment in various languages: <a href="https://www.rosettacode.org/wiki/Loops/For_with_a_specified_step">https://www.rosettacode.org/wiki/Loops/For_with_a_specified_step</a>).
